Fauchard
Time Period: 11th-14th century
Location: Europe
Common Construction: Wooden haft with steel head

The fauchard consists of a curved blade sharpened on the convex (inside) edge mounted on a pole. Like the guisarme, the weapon lacked a spear point and in general the fauchard is considered one of the least effective polearms of the era. Some attempted to remedy this by attaching a spike to the back or top of the blade, called a fauchard-fork. However by the 14th century far superior weapons were gaining popularity and fauchard fell out of favor.

I don't like what I see for polearms. The skill ralley suffers from a lack of selection, and none of the best polearms are craftable. You pretty much just have to hope to be lucky and find a Spear of Holy Sacrifice lying around somewhere. Making the skill weaker does not seem like a good thing.
